Exciting Month of May ~ Writers At Play!

Editors, Authors, and Cover Models....Oh my!Stop in to check out the action ~ lots and lots of books to be given away!!

We’re kicking off the month on May 1st with a very special guest, editor Melissa Endlich of Harlequin/Steeple Hill! Melissa is overseeing the launch of Love Inspired Historical, a brand new line of inspirational historical romances. She’ll be taking questions regarding Love Inspired as well as all the other Harlequin lines, and is offering a grand prize to one lucky commenter of all eight Love Inspired books issued since the line first launched in January of 2008! In addition, we have tons of other goodies to give away that day - more books from various authors, an Amazon gift card and a gift basket, all for those lucky ducks who take the time to read Melissa’s interview and comment!

The excitement doesn’t stop there! The very next day, May 2nd, we’ll be visited by one of our very favorite cover models, the gorgeous and sweet Andrei Claude! Andrei was voted Mr. Romance2005, and since then has graced the covers of many a romance novel! If you can’t wait until Friday to see more of him in action, check out his performance on this video!

Five days later, on the 7th, we have yet another special treat for you: Jimi Gaskin, this year’s second runner-up for Mr. Romance 2008! Having seen some of the photos from Mona’s blog earlier in the week, I’m not quite clear how he didn’t win first place, but we’ll do our best to make him feel better about it, won’t we, playmates?

Other guest bloggers this month include Berkley author of “beach books that bite”, Nancy Haddock, who’s celebrating the April release of her debut novel, LA VIDA VAMPIRE, and will be giving away a free copy to one lucky commenter. We’ll also be joined by double RITA nominee, Avon author and saucy Aussie from “down under”, Anna Campbell, who’ll be talking to us about heroines.
